Reborn cannon fodder ex-wife, the chief is a henpecked husband

Chapter 98 The Lin Family Proposes Marriage

The last time Lin Qinfeng fainted he stayed in the hospital for half a month and then he asked to be discharged.

He was worried that after taking such a long leave from the institute, if he didn't go back, he might not have the chance to run for election.

But it was also because of the hospitalization that his colleagues from the research institute came to see him later and told him that the last time they went to Hou Mingsen’s house was because Shi Yanning had passed the national exam and was the top scorer.

This news made Lin Qinfeng, who was in the hospital, not know whether to cry or laugh.

"How is the money prepared?"

"Dad, I scraped together some money here and there and got together 10,000 yuan."

Lin Qinfeng thought about the reason why his family was short of money this time, and remembered that Hou Mingsen's granddaughter had won the national top scorer in the exam. Inexplicably, he felt powerless and wanted to give up.

With my eyes closed, I calculated that this little money would not be enough to treat the guests except for the betrothal gift.

“Sell that house.”

"What?" Lin Youde thought he had heard it wrong.

But seeing his father's expression, it was obvious that he had really considered it for a long time.

Thinking of the recent situation in the entire imperial capital, Lin Youde seemed helpless: "Okay."

Soon, Lin Youde took the deed to the courtyard house at home and went out to look for someone.

Because it was handled in secrecy and they were in a hurry to get the money, the price was kept very low.

A courtyard with three entrances was sold for "twenty thousand".

At this time, Shi Yanxiao was naturally spending his money to search for courtyard houses in the imperial capital. The current price for one was only about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, so of course the more the better.

Holding the freshly-issued title deed in his hand, Shi Yanxiao smiled with satisfaction.

After Lin Youde paid the promised agency fee, he only had 19,000 left.

“It didn’t even sell for 20,000?” Mr. Lin was a little shocked.

"Yes, 20,000. Others in poor locations only sell for more than 10,000."

Mr. Lin also took out his own money and rounded it up to "30,000."

During this period of time, the Lin family has already lost all their face, so this little bit is not a big deal. The less the better.

"Tomorrow, we'll go to the Wen family."

That night, the phone in Wen Mansion rang. The housekeeper answered the phone and listened to the other end's words with an expressionless face.

After hanging up the phone, he went upstairs to report to Wen Qingyun.

"Oh? They're coming to visit?"

"Yes, Lin Qinfeng was hospitalized recently, Hou Mingsen's granddaughter passed the national exam and became the top scorer, and Lin Xingbang also left the position of the president of Imperial Capital University, which means he was expelled from the school in disguise."

"It seems that this old fox can't sit still anymore."

the next day.

Lin Qinfeng, Lin Youde, Li Cuiling and Lin Xingbang packed up their belongings and came to Wen Mansion with some gifts.

When they arrived at Wen Mansion, they were stopped outside the door and had to wait for ten minutes before they were allowed to enter.

"Sorry, the owner is meeting guests right now. Please wait a moment."

The few people were at a loss as the Wen family didn't let them in, so they had to stand outside the door for ten minutes.

Lin Qinfeng had just been discharged from the hospital and was still a little weak. It was so cold that he felt shaky after standing for ten minutes.

Lin Youde quickly supported the old man and sent Lin Xingbang to inquire.

The doorman came back and said, "The old man has finished his meeting. Please come in, guests."

Mr. Lin could see clearly that no one came out from inside.

But I still said politely, "Thank you."

Wen Qingyun was sitting upright on the sofa at this time, holding a golden scepter. Although he was already seventy years old, he inexplicably had the aura of a mighty army, and no one dared to underestimate him.

"Secretary Wen, you seem to be getting more energetic recently."

"No, I am over seventy years old but still cannot compare to Researcher Lin."

Lin Qinfeng pursed his lips, but didn't say anything in the end. He changed the subject and talked about something else.

Finally, the younger generation was mentioned.

"My grandson is a young talent, and he is also Weiwei's classmate. They grew up together, and my family treats Weiwei as an equal."

"Hey, you reminded me now. Before I found Weiwei, I knew that she was Dean Hou's granddaughter. My daughter also recognized him as her godfather. I have to thank him very much."

Wen Qingyun interrupted him, stopped him from continuing, and turned to look at the butler: "Butler, go prepare some thank-you gifts, and take the tea set in my study and send them to Dean Hou together."

"Yes, master."

Lin Qinfeng didn't expect that by coming here today, Wen Qingyun would give face to Hou Mingsen. For a moment, he felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest.

"Secretary Wen, we are here today to discuss something."

"What is it? You can tell me what's going on."

"You know, the rumor in the family compound before was about the free love between Weiwei and Xingbang. A girl's reputation is very important. When Xingbang heard about it, he immediately asked us to give Weiwei an explanation."

Wen Qingyun didn't expect these two people to be so mean: "Oh, yes, Xingbang is not bad either. He used to take care of my Weiwei. He is a kind and good boy."

Li Cuiling glanced at the old man and then looked at her husband. Does this mean that Old Man Wen has no interest in her son?

In her opinion, the Lin family had already done the most by putting aside their past grudges and marrying Wen Weiwei home.

How could a scumbag who seduced her own brother-in-law be worthy of her son? If it weren't for this old man Wen, this daughter would never have the chance to get close to his son!

Seeing that the two men were speechless, Li Cuiling opened her mouth and spoke with some contempt:

"Mr. Wen, you also know that relationships between men and women are not allowed to be chaotic nowadays. It was Weiwei who knelt in front of us and begged us to agree to be with Xingbang."

Wen Qingyun knew about the bad things his granddaughter had done in the past, but he had no idea that she had gotten to this point.

He said expressionlessly, "Mrs. Lin, what do you want to say?"

When Lin Qinfeng and Lin Youde saw Wen Qingyun's expression, they knew that he was angry, and hurriedly stopped Li Cuiling from continuing.

Li Cuiling ignored the two people's obstruction and said: "We were forced to do so, so we agreed to Xingbang and Weiwei's marriage."

"Is this true?"

Wen Qingyun knew about the rumors outside, but he didn't know that this would happen.

Shi Yanxiao had only said some ambiguous words at the beginning, after all, this was more interesting.

So the rest were all guesses by everyone, but no one could have imagined that there would be such an extraordinary thing.

Lin Xingbang felt like a knife was at his neck, and he dared not say anything, nor did he dare not say anything.

Wen Weiwei was just informed today that she would no longer be taking tutoring classes for high school knowledge. She was excited at first, but then felt resentful.

When she returned to the Wen family, it was totally different from what she had imagined. She must have thought that she could show off in front of those people who looked down on her in the past. She was just learning.

She didn't think she needed to learn anything. Isn't it enough for a woman to find a man to marry? As long as the man's heart is with her, isn't the man's glory the woman's glory?

Wen Weiwei was thinking about it when she went out and saw the Lin family downstairs. They were holding gifts in their hands and were very respectful in front of grandpa.
